African good taste

It ought to be possible just to look at some chain of events as “experience”, rather than making everything into an issue of morality. In general Africans do this automatically, since an African style of psyche tends to integrate experience with reasoning a lot more than people do in the West. To stand apart from experience and intellectually condemn things, as if you had some kind of insight born of omniscience, is in bad taste I think.
